About Cuenca

Cuenca is Ecuador's most beautiful city — a UNESCO World Heritage colonial gem of cobblestoned streets, sky-blue domed churches, and flower-filled plazas along the Tomebamba River. The New Cathedral (Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción) with its massive blue-and-white domes dominates the skyline. The Flower Market at Plaza de las Flores, the Pre-Columbian art at the Museo Pumapungo, the Panama hat workshops (Panama hats actually originate from Ecuador), and the Inca ruins of Ingapirca nearby showcase layers of history. Cuenca is famous for its clean air, mild climate, artistic community, and has become one of the world's top retirement destinations. The traditional markets, craft workshops, and the Barranco riverside walk make Cuenca irresistible.
